Leading economists from Harvard, Princeton, the University of Chicago, and the United States recently released a report. Treasury attests to the beneficial effects of Trump’s corporate tax cut.
The National Bureau of Economic Research’s 51-page report, which was cited in a Wall Street Journal article by James Freeman, concluded that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act significantly increased business investment and produced significant economic benefits.

“The results of the Trump corporate tax reform were more business investment, more growth, more wages for workers—and little impact on government revenue as lower corporate tax rates were offset by an expanding economy. Game, set, match,” Freeman argued.
The corporate tax rate has decreased dramatically as a result of the Trump tax cuts, according to the Tax Foundation. From being the highest rate in the industrialized world to below average at 21 percent, it has been permanently lowered.
Additionally, rather than deferring the write-offs over a five-year period, the law allows for immediate expensing for short-term capital investments.
In other words, businesses could claim a tax deduction for the amount of money they invested in equipment against their annual income. This made it possible for companies to maximize their financial gains while fostering their expansion.
Less than 2% of the baseline corporate revenue is the first 10-year impact of dynamic labor and corporate tax revenue feedback, according to the economists in the NBER report. This is because rising wages lead to higher labor tax revenues as a result of investment growth, but rising depreciation deductions cause corporate revenue declines to offset these gains.
Basically, businesses that reinvest and increase their efficiency pay their employees more, which raises the amount of taxes that are due. The net effect is that over a ten-year period, the Treasury does not lose any total revenue.
The Tax Foundation’s William McBride and Alex Durante state that the NBER analysis made use of a sizable dataset consisting of 12,000 corporate tax returns from two years after the TCJA was put into effect and several years before it did.

“The authors find that, on average, firms impacted by the policy changes increased domestic investment by about 20 percent in the subsequent two years relative to firms with no tax change,” McBride and Durante explained.
Former Obama administration chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and Harvard Economics Professor Jason Furman agrees that the TCJA worked as intended. He offered his opinions on the subject even though he did not add anything to the NBER report.
“Taxes actually do matter … Companies that saw larger reductions in tax rates from the TCJA also experienced larger increases in investment in the years that followed.” Furman made social media posts.
While promoting his fiscal year 2023 budget, President Joe Biden unintentionally acknowledged the success of the Trump tax cuts.
Please take note that despite Biden’s continued efforts to repeal them, the Trump tax cuts are still mainly in place.
“[W]e have generated a GDP growth of 5.7 percent, the best economic growth we’ve seen in this country in over 40 years. This has led to a substantial increase in government revenues and dramatically improved our fiscal situation,” stated by Biden in March 2022.
Amazing Financial Stats: In fiscal year 2021, the federal treasury recorded revenue of $4 trillion, and in fiscal year 2022, it reached an even more astounding $4.9 trillion.
Revenue fell to $4.44 trillion in FY 2023 as a result of Biden and the Democrats’ inflationary spending policies, which caused the economy to slow down. But ever since the Republicans took back control of the House, these initiatives have been rolled back.
The federal government brought in an astounding $3.3 trillion in revenue in 2017, which was a remarkable accomplishment even prior to the introduction of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The yearly increase in federal revenue has exceeded $1 trillion.
Even though many Democrats don’t understand it, it’s a simple idea: A growing economy means more money coming into the Treasury.
The economy expanded strongly in the third quarter of this year, rising by a noteworthy 4.9 percent.
Biden emphasized the economy’s remarkable four-decade high growth rate last year.
The economy grew significantly during Ronald Reagan’s first term, which was a result of widespread tax cuts. The economy expanded by 4.58 percent in 1983 and a remarkable 7.2 percent in 1984.
Federal tax receipts increased significantly in the 1980s, more than doubling from $500 billion to nearly $1 trillion. The economy experienced a significant upswing at the same time as this growth, with the GDP rising by more than $2.5 trillion, from $7.32 trillion to $9.94 trillion.
It’s encouraging to see Treasury economists and economists from elite Ivy League universities agreeing that the Trump tax cuts are working.
